Would any one know if they make crystal colored like this? I know its crystal because I flick it with my finger and it gives off a good ring. Theres no markings I can see. Then again maybe other glass gives off a good ring like that.Then again I didn't give it a cleaning when I bought it. Just stuff it on here after I flicked it. Hey least im out of pictures lol ;D

if it is crystal, the resonance of the ring..will be much clearer than if it were glass,and it will last longer,..

What other glass gives a ring like crystal? And its pretty old also. (that I know of anyway)

Looks like glass.

Not crystal but carnival glass My first guess would be Indiana Glass Co. but you would need to research to find a maker. How do you know it is an older piece?
Here's one cleaned up for sale on ebay,

yours looks to have quite a bit of the iridescent finish removed, this can be done by scrubbing and such.

Just because it came from an estate sale is no guarantee !! They reproduced a bunch of this in the 60`s and 70`s !! I must not see what Wendy does,, I cant see any loss !! I do see the reflection and that gold tone the in the edge !! But most had that !!

you can,t see what Wendy,s seeing...cos you,re wearing $2 cheaters....get under yer bed, and dig some $$ out...and buy a decent pair....those cheapies do more damage than good....

Maybe loss was the wrong wording mart, the brilliance is not there looks very dull which is due to chemical cleaners.

Got`cha Wendy !!
Wullie I have a pair here that are much more expensive and can`t see half as well as these Dollar store cheaters !!
